Sarasota Memorial has created its free-standing North Port ER in the footprint of the hospital’s main Emergency Care Center in Sarasota. Like the main hospital ER, our North Port ER is equipped with the most advanced medical equipment and staffed by the most qualified emergency medicine professionals in the region.

Designated Stroke CenterIf you live in North Port or surrounding communities, treat stroke like the emergency it is and call 911 immediately. Based on your condition, emergency rescue workers will take you to the nearest hospital equipped to treat you.

For many, that will be Sarasota Memorial’s freestanding ER off Toledo Blade Blvd. On Nov. 1, 2011, the North Port ER was officially recognized by the Joint Commission for offering the same caliber of care and protocols as Sarasota Memorial’s main campus ER – the only state-designated Comprehensive Stroke Center between Tampa/St. Petersburg and Naples. As such, Sarasota Memorial's North Port ER offers stroke patients the most advanced for even the most complex strokes. Learn more >>
